DS has been developing migraines over the past few weeks and I am thinking about taking him to the optician. After observing and chatting to him about these migraines I have noticed they seem to come on whilst he is reading music. It didn't really cross my mind that it could be music score related as I thought it may be an excuse to get out of music practice, but he is developing headaches whilst singing Evensongs as well and he has no symptoms when reading other texts or doing school work. I was just wondering if when I mention it to the optician, he will think I am a loon or this is a common problem amongst musicians and it can be solved through glasses.
